win fall through after all? The difficulty
seems to lie in the selection of place satis-
factory to both principals Each protests
that the fault does not lie with him and reit-
crates his willingness to row on any fair
course selected by the other man; but despite
all these vehement protestations, no sooner is
course n AIMED than some strong objection
is suddenly discovered. which had up to that
time been entirely overlooked. Many repu-
table sporting men are becoming disguised
with the childlike tactics of both of these
aquatic heroes and openly assert that the
present pickering is only revised edition of
the old adage that lone is afraid and the
other dareil't." There is probably very much
more truth in this than would appear at first
glance to an uninitiated, as happen to know
that each man fully appreciates that, win or
lose, the coming contest will be the event of
his life. SO

In this manner. The holders Of real
property are too frequently blind to
their own interest In not dealing more
literally with those who propose inn
provements, or who seek TO establish
manufacturing industries, or who would
enlarge the volume Of business, and by
all these means Indirectly increase the
value OF all properties. By dealing IL
literally with the pioneers OF such work
OF Improvement, capital and brains and
enterprise have been forced to seek
other locations, and the golden stream
turned from such selfish channels has
never returned to them. The history OF
manufacturing enterprise In these
United States furnishes hundreds OF ex-
amples of such selfish shortsightedness,
which IL Ia to be hoped San Antonio will
carefully avoid. The town is on the eve
OF Improvement. Real estate is advanc-
ing. Better far let real property remain

prising party desires to make perma-
nent improvements do not stand In the
way, or throw cold water on the enter
prise, or deliberately plan TO make a
profit out OF his energy and public spir-
1t for personal ends.
A case In point is found IN that pro-
posed Improvement on the old Flores
block, upon which an embargo has been
laid by the refusal Of those who hold
leases TO certain sections of that tract to
yacate the same for reasonable cOnsid-

cease monkeying with her own inter-
ests, and all our citizens must be mu-
tually helpful in whatever work Of i'm
provement is proposed, II the city is to
enjoy any great degree OF prosperity.

SAM HOUSTON'S IDEAS.


History repeats itself. Thirty -four
years ago Sam Houston, one OF the
guardian spirits OF Texas, whose name
shines brighter and brighter in the
armament OF the Lone Star state as
years roll by, was waited upon by a
deputation of ministers to see IL his aid
could not be obtained for the passage OF
q Sunday and prohibition law. Hous-
ton had just Joined the Sons of Temper
ance and was heartily in sympathy with
all measures tending to decrease drunk
enness. His mind was very clearly ex-
pressed to the gentleman who waited
upon him and his answer has become
historic. We give the LIGHT readers
some extracts from this reply. Mr..
Houston says:
81 am a sincere Christian. | believe
the precepts and examples as taught
and practiced by Christ and his apOs-
ties to be the bedrock OF democracy.
Nowhere in the New Testament can we
learn that any agency save moral sua-
sion was invoked to make people relig-
ious or moral.
"Before the evil of intemperance can
be suppressed by legislative enactments,
natural laws must be repealed As long
as the soil produces fruit and grain, ar
dent spirits will be manufactured and
used as beverage. To declare it to be
q crime to manufacture and drink wine
in moderation would, in effect, accuse
Christ and tine holy apostles of sinful
practices. The first miracle OF our
hlaaaaI so uinr w m -
wine out of water. 1t was performed at
the request Of His mother at the we'd
ding OF her niece and His cousin.
"Moral suasiOn is the only legitimate
weapon that ministers Of the gospel can
make use OF to win men from vice Of
every description.
81 do not object to total abatinence.
belive that total abstinence Is the only
Way by which some Incorporate drink
ers can be saved. | know it from my
own personal experience. When per-
sons appetite tor stimulating beverage
becomes uncomfortable, he should
touch not, handle not II cannot in.
dulge in the use of the same mOdera-
tion, it is my misfortune. TO undertake
to prescribe rules of conduct for Others
more fortunate, by legislative enact
ments, is a species Of Legislation that
~ hold and maintain that 1t is far bet
ter to endure aud suffer from the ills of
even a great evil than TO violate. in the
least, a vital principle of civil and re-
ligious liberty.
"Wnen tyrants ask you to yield one
jOt of your liberty, and you consent
thereto, 1t is the first link forged in the
chain that will eventually hold you in
bondage.
These are but few of the PROPOSE
tions laid down and the reasons adj
vanced by Mr.. Houston, as conclusive to
himself, why he should oppose all at
tempts to enact prohibition laws, such
as are nov attempted. These words Of
the old patriot are pertinent today, and
pregnant with meaning. Let Texas
read. mark and be governed accordingly.
